#2: A vote requires a proposal and a second and is identified by UTC time when proposal motion is made
No vote without a proposal and a second. A procedure is as follows:
- someone says "Motion: <text>"
- someone else says "<utc-motion-time>: seconded" (or equivalent)
- votes are cast as "<utc-motion-time>: (yes|no|abstain|...)"
(Originally proposed by Chuck Mead and animously passed on 2004-12-04 meeting. Clarified on 2006-02-04 by animously passed motion of 2006 SPF Council proposed by Julian Mehnle)

22:11 <Julian> A procedural matter: the old council has used the
following convention for making resolutions: 1.
someone say "Motion: <text>", 2. someone else say
"<utc-motion-time>: seconded" (or something
equivalent), 3. votes should be cast as
"<utc-motion-time>: (yes|no|abstain|...)".
22:11 <Julian> Should we keep this convention?
22:12 <MarkK> indeed, thank you julian :)
22:12 <Julian> I think it has worked well.
